In 1980 the Cortina Mark V was Britain's best selling car, and in April it was released in Australia as the TF Cortina, where it sold poorly and was quietly dropped in 1981. The 2.3 liter V6 had electronic ignition and 116 horsepower in place of the Mark IV's 108. Ford also claimed improved corrosion protection. The range was Base, L, GL and Ghia in saloon and estate forms, with an S package of options for most models.
